Wave Chaser

The Wave Chaser brand began with a vision to create a twin rig, planning hull catamaran with paddleboard and windsurfer design characteristics. Through years of research and development involving a diverse group of industry professionals, we created the Wave Chaser Hydraero SUP Catamaran. This totally unique watercraft is transportable on roof racks, easy to set up, capable of speeds in excess of 20 knots and can be sailed and enjoyed by water sports enthusiasts at all levels of experience.

Wave Chaser SUP Surfboards

Our start point for the design of Wave Chaser S Series Paddleboards is stability. From there we’ve built in the characteristics of today’s performance surfboards. The smooth, “Hypto” style outline shape finishes in a wider tail area for a more buoyant, stable paddling and takeoff experience. Width, rail height, and waterline length provide a combination of good glide and stability. The convex nose, soft rails and balanced rocker with single to double concave, provide for a more enjoyable all round surf experience with drive and speed in plentiful supply.

Why do we use Polystyrene Foam (EPS), Epoxy Resin & Carbon Fiber?

Environment: EPS & Epoxy are more environmentally friendly than their Polyurethane Foam (PU) & Polyester Resin counterparts. EPS & Carbon Fiber are recyclable materials and both EPS and Epoxy require less energy to produce and less harmful associated chemicals are used in the manufacturing process.

Performance: Because of their size, paddleboards generally surf faster and handle better at a lighter weight with minimal flex. EPS Foam is lighter and more buoyant than PU foam and the higher tensile strength and bonding properties of Epoxy enable less material use for a stronger laminate.

Durability: Compared to Polyester, Epoxy is more resistant to moisture, wearing, cracking and peeling, and corrosion or damage from chemical or environmental degradation.

Wave Chaser Foilboards

Wave Chaser Foilboards are the result of quality and performance testing using an array of foil types from multiple brands in a range of conditions from small to shoulder height beach breaks, reef breaks and long distance downwind.

"We've created a range of foil boards that are ultralight, strong and durable, with a shape and profile carefully sculptured for paddling, take off, stable flight and maneuverability. We've found the combination of materials used; EPS Foam, Carbon, Epoxy and Premium Fiber Glass are perfect for withstanding the unique pressures incurred during flight. " Mick Branch, Wave Chaser Test & Development Team.

Wave Chaser Foilboards feature a wide “kick” tail to assist wave pick up and launch and a wide nose, designed to skim the water surface on touch downs rather than plunge or catch an edge. The full length bottom concave assists with early lift, and beveled underails help avoid rail catch on take offs and turns. The concave deck helps riders find the center of balance, and counter roll and yaw, for an overall smoother ride!

Wave Chaser boards are all digitally designed, precision machine shaped, then hand sanded, constructed and finished by quality craftspeople in EPA approved factories using the best materials available.
